Yep cause Bama really steam rolled UGa a couple weeks back.

How would you feel about a six team playoff with byes for the top two?
I wouldn't be totally against it, but adding more teams just opens the door to push for more teams to be added down the road. If (I say if, but I do think 8 will happen) we do move to an 8 team playoff, I think the first two round games should be played on the home field of the higher ranked team and conference title games should disappear. But outside of all of that, I don't like the idea of there being a potential 3 loss team in the playoffs. And had UCF lost a game this year, that 100% would have happened as Washington, Florida, LSU, and PSU were 9-12 in the final CFP Poll, all with 3 losses. Then, one of those teams gets left out and we have this same argument again because "insert team with same record as another playoff team with similar resume" got screwed. It will never end.

4 teams are more than enough to determine a true champion. IMO, the BCS was fine as is. There were only two years (2001 and 2003) where I think the two best teams weren't playing for the national title (should have been Miami/Oregon in 2001 and LSU/USC in 2003). Adding 2 more teams fixes that. If you fall outside the top 4, you didn't do enough in the regular season to earn the right to call yourself "the best." DWI
I mean let's just say that OSU didn't lose to Purdue and OU didn't lose to Texas this year. What are we doing here?
Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean you should have a system where when it does you're completely screwed. There is currently no contingency for 5 P5 champs to be undefeated.
People would be fired in the real world for having no contingency in place for that type of f-up

The only thing I don’t like is the conference champ getting an automatic bid. Pitt or northwestern could have gotten in
The way these divisions are set up are not equal and it’s a stupid way to decide who makes a conference champ game
Get rid of the,conference champ games if we do this
And then maybe tua can get a heisman

College football already has the best, most compelling and expansive playoff in all of sports. It’s the regular season! No other sport has as much intensity through a season. Every Saturday is a big deal and feels like a big deal....
But hey, let’s dilute the greatest thing of the greatest sport so 9-3 Wisconsin with one win over a top 25 team can feel special by making the playoffs.

There is never going to be a contingency plan for every possible situation that would arise. What if we go to 8 teams, have 5 undefeated P5s, an undefeated Notre Dame, and three undefeated G5 schools with similar resumes? The main reason this is being discussed is because UCF was left out the last two years and Ohio State keeps getting blown out by bad teams. The likelihood of all 5 P5 conference with teams going undefeated in the same season is very low (it's never happened in the history of the sport, mind you). Investing hundreds of millions of dollars on a "problem" that has never occurred and is not likely to occur is the type of decision that gets you fired. Let's be honest, the P5 programs bitching just want a mulligan.

So, we have to expand to give undeserving teams an extra game?
What kind of bullshite is that? Those losers can go frick themselves.

Plus there is inequities in schedule. Conference who play a nine game schedule are not on the same level as a team that only plays 8, etc
College football has so many differing schedules and competition that it would be better to have a playoff that includes all regions and conferences and takes almost all the bias of “this team would get blown out by Alabama bullshite” that permeates the country

The rage after 3 SEC teams all get in will be pretty entertaining.

This year you would have. Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio state, ucf, Michigan and Washington. I’m guessing
That wouldn’t be too bad. New blood would keep more people interested across the country
Ugh. Skip that. Sub Notre Dame for Michigan

You would lose. But it's typical of you to make a speculative, low IQ post like that.

i guess I will never understand this argument. You will make more money with 8 than with 4, that is factual. You will have all regions of the country involved, and based on this proposal, even a Cinderella story to cheer for.

It's not much better when all 5 have a loss, which has happened before. Then it turns into a beauty pageant. There was an SEC fan complaining about going up to OSU for a playoff game, yet B1G teams are absolutely dinged for "winning ugly" in less than ideal conditions. To my knowledge advanced stats don't take conditions into account (so rain/snow/sleet etc isn't considered)
No there isn't a perfect scenario, but the P5 conferences were the one who created the playoff, and whoever agreed was dumb from the beginning knowing at least 1 champ was out every year regardless of their record

First it was "the BCS will solve the AP bullshite..."
Then, "a four team playoff makes it fair".
Now, "An 8 team playoff will leave us with zero controversy this time, gayz, I promise!"

Having 4 spots for 5 major conferences and ND is insane and always has been a dumb idea in theory and in practice
Why is every conference entitled to a spot? The PAC12 this year is a great example.
They do not have a single team worthy of a playoff spot, not even close.

Seriously, you have fans irate their 19-17 team bubbles out of the basketball tournament, changing the system to try to alleviate bitching is a fool's errand.

Is it factual? They will lose millions of dollars on all the other bowls in the process, and there are A LOT of them. And why should I care about how much money is made off of these games? How is it relevant to crowning a champion?

See, this is my problem. I don't want a Cinderella. i want the best team and the team that earned it, not a 9-3 team that got hot for a few weeks.

Meh, it turns into "who did you beat" and "who beat you" and "by how much"

or for getting drilled by average teams in their own conference. No oine "dinged" OSU for losing at home to Va Tech in 2014. They still made, and won, the CFP. OSU got dinged for getting blown out by Iowa and Purdue, as they should have. UGA got dinged for getting blown out by LSU, as they should have.
But what are these "less than ideal conditions"?
quote:

I don't see a problem with that. All P5 conferences, year-to-year, are not created equally. You know this even if you refuse to admit it.

frick. That.
Any “leaving deserving teams out” or “more money on the table” type argument is completely moronic. You can make that argument at ANY number. There’s crying about teams that get left out of the NCAAB tournament every year.
